A series of detached three-story buildings on a sweeping beach in Puerto Plata makes up the all-inclusive Gran Ventana Beach Resort, where each of the 506 rooms has a private balcony or terrace. Bring the kids! The kid's club hosts daily activities like aerobics, coloring, Spanish lessons, drawing, and sandcastle making on the resort's playground, and there's a daycare center and a kiddie pool.
